The solar and waste heat-powered humidification-dehumidification (HDH) desalination
systems are gaining much significance owing to the alarming effects of global warming and …

Direct evaporative cooling is widely known for being an energy efficient air conditioning
solution for arid and/or semi-arid climates. Commercialized evaporative cooling pads vary in …

The cell temperature is an important factor affecting the operation performance of a
photovoltaic (PV) module. In this work, efforts are made to study the possibility of a PV …

Desalination, the process of obtaining potable water from seawater, has been regarded as
an alternative solution to address the global issue of freshwater shortages. Considering the …

In this paper a comprehensive experimental parametric study on the performance of a new
evaporative cooling pad type made of cellulose papers in bee-hive structure is presented …

Energy consumption by human enhanced activities has led to distinctive environmental
problems; in particular, climate change and global warming. In hot regions, the main reason …

In hot and dry climatic zones, direct evaporative cooling (DEC) system is used as an
economical and efficient alternative to traditional air conditioning systems. The present …

This paper experimentally studies the cooling performance of seawater and freshwater for
evaporative cooling of air. A low-speed wind tunnel was designed to test wet media …

In concentrated solar power (CSP) plants built in dry and arid areas, natural draft dry cooling
tower (NDDCT) are commonly employed to dissipate waste heat into the atmosphere. The …

To address the problem of poor cooling performance of mechanical draft dry cooling tower
(MDDCT) at high ambient temperatures, this paper proposes a dry-wet hybrid cooling …
